Speaking as a diesel engineer, there is nothing that works. Temporary or otherwise. The only way to cure a diesel leak is, surprisingly enough, to fix it.

Some people say running on bio swells the seals others that it makes them leak, going back to neat dino is just another way of saying running on 100% pump diesel (which is probably upto 20% bio depending on where you get it from anyway).
What vehicle is it on?

Cooking oil makes mine leak (lucas pump) going back top pump fuel fixes it every time, i never use over 30% cooking on a lucas but back to your problem... Where is it leaking from? TBH never heard of leak fix for fuel just oil seals or P/S slah auto boxes, one of those "might work" i spose  |

a lot of seals aren't veg/bio friendly, they kinda shrink. Running on diesel helps them swell a little, and stop the leak you caused by running it on other stuff. Above, the only real solution is to swap the seals out for veg/bio safe ones A temporary fix? As above, either run on JUST diesel.... or stop driving  |
